SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0697.
    Title: FAA Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry.
    Form Numbers: AC Form 8050-135.
    Type of Review: Renewal of existing collection.
    Background: This information collection supports Department of 
Transportation strategic goals regarding safety and security. The 
information collected is necessary to obtain an authorization code for 
transmission of information to the International Registry.
    The Convention on International Interest in Mobile Equipment, as 
modified by the Protocol to the Convention on International Interests 
in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Aircraft Equipment (herein 
after the Cape Town Treaty or Treaty), provides for the creation and 
sustainment of the International Registry. The International Registry 
is an electronic registry system that works in tandem with the current 
system operated by the FAA Civil Aviation Registry (Registry) for the 
United States. Congress has designated the Registry as the exclusive 
United States Entry Point for transmissions to the International 
Registry. To transmit certain types of interests or prospective 
interests to the International Registry, interested parties must file a 
completed FAA Entry Point Filing Form--International Registry, AC Form 
8050-135, with the Registry. Upon receipt of the completed form, the 
Registry, upon verifying the accuracy of the submitted data, issues the 
unique authorization code.
    Respondents: Aircraft owners desiring authorization for filing with 
the International Registry. The submission of the information in 
question is not an FAA requirement for aircraft registration. Its sole 
purpose is to create authorization for filing with the International 
Registry.
    Frequency: As desired by the aircraft owner.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Based on FY '17 approximately 15,000 
filings, the estimated annual burden is 7,500 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
